They could probably be bent but you would need something VERY heavy to place on the one side and then either a sledge hammer or something else very heavy to bend the other. Sounds like a lot of work though. You could always cut them and then grind down the sharp point until smooth.

One of my friends is using the metal milk crates for their hay feeders. Looks like it works really well.

It can be done. There are many ways to go about it. I have no idea of what you have avalable for tools or equipment. I have used a break to bend them to fit several times. Are you bending with or without a warp (vertical) wire. If not you can heat and bend each wire separatly , its slow but requires the minimum of effort. You can also bend them by just clamping and using a lever. If all else fails most welding shops will do your bending on their brake for just a minimal fee. I sometimes think that the fee is more than worth it.
